Pokedex descriptions

Gold LeafGreen HeartGold	It has sharp, hard tusks and a rugged hide. Its TACKLE is strong enough to knock down a house.
Silver SoulSilver	The longer and bigger its tusks, the higher its rank in its herd. The tusks take long to grow.
Crystal	Because this POKéMON’s skin is so tough, a normal attack won’t even leave a scratch on it.
Ruby	DONPHAN’s favorite attack is curling its body into a ball, then charging at its foe while rolling at high speed. Once it starts rolling, this POKéMON can’t stop very easily.
Sapphire	If DONPHAN were to tackle with its hard body, even a house could be destroyed. Using its massive strength, the POKéMON helps clear rock and mud slides that block mountain trails.
Emerald	A DONPHAN is so strong it can easily haul a dump truck. Its hide has toughened to a rock-hard state. An ordinary sort of attack won’t even leave a scratch.
FireRed	The longer and bigger its tusks, the higher its rank in its herd. The tusks take a long time to grow.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It attacks by curling up, then rolling into its foe. It can blow apart a house in one hit.
Black 2 White 2	It attacks by curling up then rolling into its foe. It can blow apart a house in one hit.
